Spiritual Power For Daily Living

Male, Female or God?

For the month of July I am taking a break. Instead of writing new articles, I am posting some more of my favorite passages from other Absolute authors. This week’s post is from Alfred Aiken’s The Unchallenged Self.

Have you ever stopped to consider how many difficulties arise in one’s average experience merely because of gender? Gender, as related to sex, duality, began in time alone. You had naught to do with being male or female, man or woman, nor has God! How then did gender come about?

Metaphysics assumes gender to be a quality of Mind, but Truth knows no gender. Medicine would have gender result from the arrangement of specific material cells. Philosophy accepts it as racial requirement. Theology claims it is God’s plan for human perpetuity.

But what does the Alone-Self say concerning gender. Nothing! God is whole, entire, the infinite invisible individual ONE OF ALL IMMENSITY.

Truth is neither male nor female. The dual appearance of gender, which is part and parcel of humanity’s method of reproducing its kind,is not a provision arranged by God. The INFINITE ONE who is ALL OF ALL, the ALONE ENTIRETY OF THE UNIVERSE, ALL-INCLUSIVE BEING, could not need or command a finite human to “multiply” and replenish the earth.” God is all of ALL—all there is, is God. God is all of Me, the I THAT I am, My ENTIRETY, SUBSTANCE, LIFE, MIND, IDENTITY, EXISTENCE. I AM not man, not mortal, not human, not a finite animal.
